Oil pan?

Like your shocks

 

i have the buschur pan, and it does appear to be effective. after seeing what it takes to make the ams pan fit on your car, im not sure i want to change to it.

the ohlins sure look nice. even with the rears cranked up in height, its LOW!

 

I am considering a BR pan on my 2.4 rebuild. It is a good price and appears to work. The AMS/Moroso pan costs too much considering the fitment issues. At that price point I would want it to be perfect fitment.I would also chose a bigger sprung hub clutch like a os Giken or HKS GD Max Pro. I hated my 7.25 clutch for a street car. I drove too many miles in traffic the clutch had to be rebuilt 3x's in 15K miles. It shifted awesome though.

 

Did you have the street or race quartermaster?

 

^ take a picture of your ohlins from under the car. I'll tell you if they're setup properly.

How are you adjusting the height of the car?

 

set spring preload to 198mm or whatever it said. adjusting height by loosening the lower collar and threading the body in/out of the lower mounts. they have a factory setting and you can go +/- 15mm and in the rear im at the +15 mm to get it higher.

front.


rear.

 

soft springs I guess. I run 850's in the rear and I'm nearly out of thread for ride height adjustment (lowering it)

How do you mean pre-loaded to 198mm? you compressed the rear springs .200" I don't remember reading that... mind snapping a pic of your manual?

I just go until the spring doesn't rattle, then do a full turn. Do you have a LOT of weight in the rear of your car?

There is a limit line where the threads stop for about 4mm and then continue. That's the highest you raise the car.

 

ill try and find the manual. springs are 200mm with 2mm preload so 198mm between seats. (actually the swifts are 203mm so 201mm between seats). as far as weight, right now its a basically stock 03 gsr. spare and everything is removed from the trunk, but the stock size battery is in the right rear corner. it sat perfect on the spec r's i had. i just found it odd that the out of the box ride height had the rear a little over an inch lower than the front.

 

Take a picture of the car from the side and from the rear and LOW.

measure your ride height from the CENTER of your axle nut to your quarter/fender vertically.

A quick way to check is 1.5 to 2 fingers up front (or see that the LCA's are parallel)
the rears I've had set to about 1 finger gap.

The rear will be lower than the front and the gap won't be the same. The suspension geometry limits you up front.

 

This is the same way I did mine.

 

ill take some pics tomorrow after i get my ghetto fab licp on. its on ramps now and i have a meat hangover from dinner so im too lazy to do it.

 

let the e-brake off, bounce the springs, and roll the car back and forth. My rear shocks are adjusted maybe a half an inch lower than yours.

do you have a 6" spring in the rear? or is than an 8"

 

springs are 8" front and back. i forgot what i set the ride height too, but i think my definition of low and others is pretty different. you got a pic of your ride height?

 

1 finger in the rear, almost 2 fingers in the front.

I'll give you a tip....

Raise the RF 3 whole turns relative to the LF. Leave the rears at the same height.

 

ok, sounds like you are lower but not a whole lot.

all the corners are within 1/8". on one of the fronts it took 2 full turns more than the other, i dont remember which side it was though. im just getting it close and ill have my alignment guy corner balance it.

btw, whats with the extra turns on the rf?
